International travel

At least three months before departure

Make sure your passport is arranged well in advance of your departure date, valid for at least 6 months from departure and valid for the duration of your trip.

It's also a good idea to leave a copy of your passport and travel documents with someone at home. The Australian Government encourages all Australians travelling overseas to register with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade before travel, so you can be contacted in an emergency.

Visit the IATA Travel Centre to check the passport validity requirements of your destination, including Australia.

Check whether you need a visa for each of the countries you'll travel in. VisaCentral# is a third party service provider that can assist with the process of visa applications for residents of Australia, Canada, Singapore, United Kingdom and United States. Application and processing fees apply.

Immunisations

Visit the IATA Travel Centre to check the health requirements for all of the destinations in your trip.

If your pet is staying home while you’re away, you may need to look into a boarding facility or pet sitting. We suggest you contact the RSPCA in Australia, or an accredited organisation or pet sitter in your country, for more information.
